I like claude code as a scientist, bc busywork coding has such a huge opportunity cost. I don't want to style a stupid figure; I want to do science. My only caveat: humans should be held responsible for the mistakes these tools make if left uncorrected

its the same bad dichotomy from his book: that there are nitpicking academics and renegade poker players. only the latter can interpret & generalize, bc they are "probabilistic, data-driven" hunches

that's true! but i think displacement/gentrification is usually a good sign that 1 & 2 are both issues.

i am saying this: you have to address both 1) rent burden and 2) apt scarcity. rent control only fixes #1

this is true for the incumbents of those apts. low/medium income newcomers aren't helped. low-income people in the non-controlled apts are now extra screwed

They are true beliefs - i just think they're caused by a flood of high-income newcomers. That said, if a policy like this helps people feel secure and leads to more construction, that'd be good!

not sure what you're asking - yes I think "construction causes rent spikes" is false, even if the belief is worth addressing

I know - I'm injecting one of my own beliefs there. developers obviously want to max NOI, but that is easier to do when apts are scarce

ah gotcha. Yea by "break the link" I just mean the relationship people make between rent and new construction.

So people establish a false causal link for demand-driven construction/rent correlations, but the rent-control breaks that link? hopefully this result is replicated in nyc
